MONOPOLY has been an enduring part of popular culture for more than 85 years, played by more than one billion people across generations and geographies.
Designed to be highly social, the game connects the global community of MONOPOLY fans while encouraging friends to work together and boost each other’s fortunes. MONOPOLY GO! also preserves the franchise’s competitive spirit, sparking friendly (or heated) rivalries as players strive to build their empires.
Massimo Maietti, vice president and general manager of “MONOPOLY GO!” at Scopely, shared:
“Bringing the iconic MONOPOLY experience to life in an all-new way has been an extremely exciting journey, and we are thrilled that players are now able to engage in the adventure! We look forward to continuing to create an ever-evolving game for players to enjoy today and for years to come.”
Cynthia Williams, President of Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro Games at Hasbro said:
“MONOPOLY is truly an enduring global phenomenon and a part of popular culture. The original game has been adapted for hundreds of destinations around the world, pioneering a localized approach that helps players connect with and celebrate the unique character of the places they call home as well as learn about new cultures.“
Scopely was recently acquired by Savvy Games Group, wholly owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), for $4.9 billion.
MONOPOLY GO! can be downloaded from Google Play for Android and App Store for iOS devices.
